Great stuff. Good studio branching overseas.

Davoh5833d ago

didn't Square-Enix expand overseas as well before turning to the dark side or was it after, lol.

knight6265833d ago

yay more companies where i have a chance to get hired just need to finish school

Commander TK5833d ago

Maybe Sony will buy them. However, Lvl5 make a lot of profit from Nintendo games

booni35833d ago

Uhoh, guess you know what that means....
AAA Powerhouse ps3 exclusive is take off

Commander TK5833d ago

From Software made Demons Souls

BISHOP-BRASIL5832d ago

Why does have Sony to buy every studio around? This isn't even their main strategy for 1st party! Sony made studios their own mature enough to split and them they employ more people so their studios get bigger.

Sure they buy some studios, but only when the studio shows interest and being part of Sony venture in the gaming market. Not just payolla buy out.

Just like Insomniac, Sony offered them to buy the studio, Insomniac choosed not to. Level 5 alredy showed no interest and being bought, since they are trying to enter into the publishing business, they are not just developers anymore. This move to have a branch in western, if anyting, just reinforce they shitft from developers to publishers.

Santa Monica huh... Anyone up for God of War RPG?

reintype5833d ago

They'll be next door neighbors to Sony Santa Monica aka "The God of War Studio".

Da One5833d ago

Now they don't have to depend on anybody

SpoonyRedMage5833d ago

This is good for their smaller games but I think they're likely to be extremely happy with their partnerships with Sony, Nintendo and Square Enix. They owe all three quite a bit.

Da One5833d ago

They can publish the ip's that they own without sacrificing a lot of the profit from them.

I love Level 5 because of all the games they made for Sony. So even if they still work with Nintendo, SE and Sony i'd still be happy.

If we could get a new Dark Cloud, Rogue Galaxy, or Ni no Kuni, that'd be cool

TheColbertinator45d ago

Anything from their golden age would be great. Apart from that Level 5 just doesn't hook me anymore.

Man, I want a Rogue Galaxy Remaster or sequel!

TheColbertinator253d ago

Level 5 once captivated me with every release. Glad that era is over since I moved on from their safe cookie cutter game design.

Michiel1989253d ago

bad lineup if there's no Ni No Kuni 3

Melankolis253d ago

They don't make games anymore. They only care about making a franchise.

Shimsok253d ago

I really would love an honest to God Ni No Kuni 3, but that shitshow mobile game is all we might get.
